Steam deck is probably a more practical solution for portable otome gaming, but I don't have one dlfkgjds (I doubt I'll be getting one because it is much more expensive ;w;) so I have been experimenting around with my Switch. I made a list of games that work properly.
Through Android Switchroot
Krkr2 (This is for otome made with KiriKiri engine)
Princess Britania -Muse no Houken- (load data.xp3 to run the game)
JoiPlay (Supports Ren'py and TyranoBuilder otome games)
Folie Fatale
Vita3K
Nil Admirari no Tenbin: Teito Genwaku Kitan (there's a Switch port for this one, but I just happened to have it in hand to verify if it was worth keeping Vita3K on the console
)
Won't run through Android Switchroot (yet)
Games through Winlator: I found this post on reddit explaining why. Latest Winlator release (11.1) is made to support phones' hardware, but there is still no Tegra X1 support for the Switch. This explains why otome games worked through Winlator on my phone, but not on my Switch with LineageOS.
I managed to run Re:Birthday song successfully on a Poco X6 (Zinc + Turnip + WineD3D + import Windows registry and modify said registry to have your install folder direction)
PersonA -Opera za no kaijin- in particular doesn't run on my phone either (works on x86_64 Linux though)
I should someday try Linux again for otome not supported by these methods. Last time I tried Linux on Switch (around january this year) Princess Britania in particular was very slow and a lot of 2D games crashed. Princess Britania performed the same way on my phone around the same month, then I tried it again on Winlator recently. The game ran well, though you have to disable effects so it doesn't crash. Linux has the drivers meant for Tegra plus Wine, which is why I am considering trying it again
